Confidentiality
When you talk to a school counselor, the discussion is confidential. The only time a school counselor will disclose confidential information is if you indicate that you are planning to harm yourself or someone else or it is suspected that some type of abuse may have occurred.
At Competitive Edge Charter Academy, one of our jobs is to get students to start thinking of their future beyond middle school and high school. One tool we provide to help with that mission is an online resource called CaliforniaColleges.edu, at www.californiacolleges.edu. This site helps students and families examine college and career options. All eighth graders will use the site this spring where they will create their own account and complete a career interest survey. The default login is: office365 email address, for example "lindam123@ycjusd.us". The default password is the student's 10 digit student ID number.
Seventh graders will take part in a career exploration activity through California Career Zone, at www.cacareerzone.org, where they will take interest inventories and begin to explore the possibilities of future careers and goals.
Sixth graders will participate in an introduction to career exploration through "The Career Game Explorer" book.
All of these activities increase student awareness and understanding of what happens after high school. To some, it might seem a bit early to start thinking about this, but it's really not too early.
